contents We study the zeros of the partition function in the complex temperature plane (Fisher zeros) and in the complex external field plane (Lee-Yang zeros) of a frustrated Ising model with competing nearest-neighbor ($J_1 > 0$) and next-nearest-neighbor ($J_2 < 0$) interactions on the honeycomb lattice. We consider the finite-size scaling (FSS) of the leading Fisher and Lee-Yang zeros as determined from a cumulant method and compare it to a traditional scaling analysis based on the logarithmic derivative of the magnetization $\partial \ln \langle |M| \rangle /\partialβ$ and the magnetic susceptibility $χ$. While for this model both FSS approaches are subject to strong corrections to scaling induced by the frustration, their behavior is rather different, in particular as the ratio $\mathcal{R} = J_2/J_1$ is varied. As a consequence, an analysis of the scaling of partition function zeros turns out to be a useful complement to a more traditional FSS analysis. For the cumulant method, we also study the convergence as a function of cumulant order, providing suggestions for practical implementations. The scaling of the zeros convincingly shows that the system remains in the Ising universality class for $\mathcal{R}$ as low as $-0.22$, where results from traditional FSS using the same simulation data are less conclusive. The approach hence provides a valuable additional tool for mapping out the phase diagram of models afflicted by strong corrections to scaling.
